“…MF results from disruption of the equilibrium between the synthesis and degradation of collagen, which leads to an excessive accumulation of collagen fibers in the myocardium [2]. The pathogenesis of MF is not completely clear; its regulation involves the extracellular matrix (ECM) system [3], the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system [4,5], a variety of cytokines, cell apoptosis and other systems [6]. …”

“…Adaptation of cardiac hypertrophy by the induction of a genetic program leads to increased protein synthesis and increased size of cardiomyocytes [3]. LVH is accompanied by loss of cardiomyocytes, reorganization of extracellular matrix (ECM), and increased ECM elements [4]. During progression of hypertrophy, the expression profile of numerous genes changes, which ultimately results in impairments in the performance of the heart [5].…”

“…Recently it has been demonstrated that deletion of collagen V in mice has a protective effect after myocardial infarction by reducing fibrosis and pathological remodelling [16] . Our previous study has shown that expression levels of collagen V clearly distinguishes compensated from decompensated left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with aortic stenosis [7] . Therefore, in the present study we hypothesized that collagen V may play a role in the development of atrial fibrosis thereby contributing to the maintenance of AF in humans.…”

“…The major heart collagens are collagen type I and type III that comprise almost 95 % of the [7] extracellular matrix [8] , [9] . Although these collagens are the most prevalent in cardiac tissue and their role in myocardial remodelling is increasingly studied, the role of the minor fibrillar collagens such as collagen type V is less studied.…”
